"Bam."
Before Chen Ziyao was able to finish, she was slapped heavily on the face. This time was much heavier than last time on Shao Feifei's face.
What Chen Ziyao had said completely irritated Gu Ning.
Not only had Chen Ziyao humiliated Gu Ning, but also had humiliated her mother, which was absolutely unbearable.
Chen Ziyao was hit dumb, and didn't know what to do next all of a sudden.
It was beyond her imagination that Gu Ning had the nerve to hit her.
Everyone was also shocked by what had happened, but no one disagreed.
Though some of them disliked Gu Ning when they found out her background, they all believed it was rude to humiliate Gu Ning in that way.
Not everyone would make fun of other people's pain.
"Gu Ning, how dare you hit me!" Chen Ziyao finally realized what she had got. She raised her hand, trying to beat Gu Ning.
However, the second she raised her hand, she was caught tightly by Gu Ning. Chen Ziyao was in pain immediately, but unable to run away.
"Gu Ning, let me go!" Chen Ziyao's face changed because of the pain.
Gu Ning didn't let her go. She looked coldly at Chen Ziyao. Her sight was like an icy sword on Chen Ziyao's neck. Chen Ziyao felt threatened at once with horror on her face.
Chen Ziyao was even trembling under the pressure of Gu Ning.
Everyone was also astonished by Gu Ning's power. The private cafeteria was quiet like death all of a sudden.
Gu Ning opened her mouth, "Chen Ziyao, I don't think I have ever hurt you. Why couldn't you stop doing this to me? Do you really think I'll let you get away with it when you've humiliated my mother before my face?"
Then, Gu Ning threw Chen Ziyao away by her hand. Chen Ziyao stumbled, and almost fell.
The girl, who was with Chen Ziyao, didn't dare to say a word.
Chen Ziyao herself was still in a shock.
At the same time, Gu Xiaoxiao and her friends had just showed up on the second floor. They saw there was a crowd nearby, and were curious.
They walked near, then found out Gu Ning and Chen Ziyao were in the center of the crowd.
Gu Xiaoxiao immediately shoved through to the center. There was a swollen red palm mark on Chen Ziyao's cheek. Gu Xiaoxiao was mad at once, "Ziyao, what has happened?"
Chen Ziyao heard Gu Xiaoxiao's voice, then got her mind back. Though she was scared of Gu Ning now, she was full of anger.
But Chen Ziyao didn't know what to say now, she only glared at Gu Ning with anger, which was a response to Gu Xiaoxiao's question.
Now, Gu Xiaoxiao knew Gu Ning had hit Chen Ziyao. She found it hard to believe that Gu Ning had done that, but she shouted at Gu Ning at once, "Gu Ning, how dare you hit Ziyao? Are you insane?"
"What? Gu Ning hit Chen Ziyao? That's ridiculous."
A boy named Zhang Yiming, who was with Qin Zheng, suddenly said out loud. He couldn't believe it was the fact.
Exactly, they all knew what kind of a girl Gu Ning was. Gu Ning was always weak, quiet, self-abased and never ever dared to argue with another person. It was impossible that Gu Ning had hit Chen Ziyao.
"Indeed, I don't believe it neither," another boy called Fu Mingliang agreed.
While Qin Zheng believed it.
"Yes, I did hit Chen Ziyao, so what?" Gu Ning admitted in front of everyone, then she turned to Gu Xiaoxiao, "It's none of your business."
Hearing this, Zhang Yiming and Fu Mingliang were both astonished.
What? She really hit Chen Ziyao? How was it possible?
"You…" Gu Xiaoxiao was annoyed. She was angry that Gu Ning dared to argue with her in public, "Ziyao is my friend, It is my business."
"Wow!" Gu Ning sneered, "So what are you gonna do?"
"You have to pay for what you've done. You either knock your head on the ground for 10 times, or let Ziyao hit you back on the face for 10 times," Gu Xiaoxiao said with pure unkindness.
Everyone held their breath after that.
10 times? Gu Xiaoxiao was so cold-blooded. It was Chen Ziyao who had humiliated Gu Ning first.
Suddenly, everyone had a different opinion of Gu Xiaoxiao.
Qin Zheng and his friends frowned with dissatisfaction too. They also thought it was too over. However, Qin Zheng still remembered what Gu Ning had done to him this morning, so he didn't stop Gu Xiaoxiao.
As for Zhang Yiming and Fu Mingliang, both of them lacked of sympathy. They all came to have fun.
Moreover, they were also curious about what Gu Ning would do next after she had hit Chen Ziyao.
"Oh, Gu Ning, it's you again. How come everyone wants to cause you trouble? You're pathetic."
Before Gu Ning could say a word, a female voice sounded first in an ironic way, but without any unkindness.
Gu Ning knew who this girl was when she heard her voice. It must be Chu Peihan!
Indeed, it was Chu Peihan.
Chu Peihan walked over with her hands in pockets, like a hoodlum.
Everyone immediately stepped away and let her go through. They seemed scared of her.
Chu Peihan was a widely-known bad girl in their school. She was skillful at fighting, so no one dared to annoy her.
Even Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao were willing to stay away from Chu Peihan.
Thus, when Chu Peihan showed up, Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao lowered their voices at once.
Qin Zheng, Zhang Yiming and Fu Mingliang weren't afraid of Chu Peihan though, they knew Chu Peihan was from a powerful family, and wouldn't stand up against her normally.
Though Qin Zheng had been humiliated by Chu Peihan this morning and hated her, he didn't want to fight with her.
Qin Zheng was confused about the relationship between Chu Peihan and Gu Ning. They didn't seem like friends, because Chu Peihan always talked to Gu Ning in an unfriendly way.
However, she stood up for Gu Ning.
Qin Zheng wasn't sure whether Chu Peihan was helping Gu Ning, or merely hated him.
If Chu Peihan hated him, he honestly had no idea why she would do that.
On the other side, Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao didn't know what had happened this morning. They believed Chu Peihan was here to laugh at Gu Ning too.
In Gu Xiaoxiao's and Chen Ziyao's eyes, Gu Ning was a joke herself who was meant to be bullied.
They never thought about the possibility that Chu Peihan and Gu Ning were friends. It was impossible from their perspectives.
Why?
They didn't believe Chu Peihan, a girl from a powerful family, would make a friend with Gu Ning, who was from a poor family.
Actually, they weren't clear about Chu Peihan's background. They only knew she had support from the principal.
Everyone, Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao included, believed Chu Peihan was here to make fun of Gu Ning, except Qin Zheng who looked doubtful.
Yu Mixi was nervous now, but didn't dare to say anything.
"I know. They're all jealous of my beauty," Gu Ning joked, like her beauty was really a burden to her.
Zhang Yiming immediately laughed out loud.
He looked at Gu Ning with disdain, "Gu Ning, how dare you to say that? I don't see your beauty at all, but your poverty is quite obvious."
"Exactly, nobody will be jealous of you! You poor girl!"
Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao agreed at once. Though they did bully Gu Ning because she was prettier than them, they would never admit it.
No one knew the real reason why Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao enjoyed bullying Gu Ning, but it was a common acknowledgment that Gu Ning was more beautiful than Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao.
Thus, Gu Ning's reply didn't raise much dislike.
Gu Ning wasn't mad at all, "Then why won't you leave me alone? I don't think I've ever hurt them. If they're not being jealous of my beauty, then what?"
While Gu Ning was saying, she unconsciously wear a cute face. Everyone, Qin Zheng included, was attracted by her at once.
Gu Ning was a beauty indeed. Before Tang Aining was reborn to her body , she had always been quiet, self-abased. Even though she was beautiful, nobody appreciated her beauty.
But now, Gu Ning was full of confidence and power. It was hard to ignore her.
Now, more and more students around them believed Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao bullied Gu Ning only because Gu Ning was prettier than them.
After a while, Gu Ning added. "And, Chen Ziyao just said I'm bullied because of my poverty. Actually, I don't understand why my poverty somehow becomes the reason that she should bully me."
Gu Ning said in a calm and slow way, without anger or hatred, like she wasn't the one who had been bullied.
Hearing this, everyone's opinion of Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao became very low. Some even felt anger and unfairness for Gu Ning.
What Gu Ning had said was the plain truth, which everyone had seen and heard.
At short notice, Gu Ning won most students' support.
"Exactly, what's wrong with being poor? They're bullies!"
"No one would stand still and wait to be hit. Idiot!"
"She has even humiliated the girl's family. She's such a bad person!"
The crowd of onlookers started to blame Chen Ziyao.
"You…" Chen Ziyao was so irritated that she didn't know how to argue back.
Gu Xiaoxiao was speechless too.
While Qin Zheng, Zhang Yiming and Fu Mingliang stayed away from the drama.
They noticed Chen Ziyao lost everyone's support, and wasn't willing to be involved.
The boys didn't want to ruin their fame as well.
"Gu Ning, what have you done the last lifetime? Your poverty now becomes a problem in others' eyes." Chu Peihan rolled her eyes at Gu Ning with dislike.
"Well, in that case, I must be super rich one day." Gu Ning responded.
She would sooner or later.
Gu Xiaoxiao immediately mocked, "Gee! Live in your dream, Gu Ning."
She wouldn't believe Gu Ning could be rich throughout her life.
"I think it's possible," Chu Peihan suddenly said.
Chu Peihan had the feeling that Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl.
Gu Xiaoxiao was surprised that Chu Peihan helped Gu Ning. Wasn't she supposed to laugh at Gu Ning as well?
"Gu Xiaoxiao, let's go and see! I'm poor now but it doesn't mean I'll be poor forever!" Gu Ning replied with determination and confidence.
Before Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao could argue back, Gu Ning opened her mouth again.
"Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao, I advise you both to stay away from me from now on, or you'll regret for sure." Gu Xiaoxiao warned them with a cold look.
Gu Ning actually didn't care about whether Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao would listen to her. She had made her mind to stand up for herself against them.
Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao were certainly displeased by Gu Ning's warning, "Gu Ning, what do you think you are? You…"
Right at that moment, Qin Zheng interrupted, "Enough!"
Gu Xiaoxiao was his girlfriend, and he ought to protect her.
